webserver

I want to make it easier to distinguish between server's connected via rdp, without draining resources too much.

Do any of you use any wallpaper, and if so, can you show any examples?

Or do you use a custom desktop background color?

Or do you use something like bginfo?

Are there any good wallpaper sites, specifically for server wallpaper? To help distinguish what server you are on...

Thanks..
